  • DSP digital signal processor
  • a sensor e.g. a CMOS sensor
  • a memory component e.g. a CMOS sensor
  • WIFI module e.g. a wireless fidelity module
  • the existing driving video recorders typically adopt a natural convection cooling system, heat generated from these components is hard to radiate outwards. The thermal aggregation effect usually results in sorts of failures of the driving video recorder, thereby deteriorating the stability and reliability of the driving video recorder.
  • US20130044189A1 discloses a camera with multiple imaging units proposing a fan for uniformizing the temperatures of the multiple imaging units.
  • WO2012082127A1 discloses an Imaging System for Immersive Surveillance comprising an array of cameras, each of which is disposed to image a respective portion of a wide-area scene at a respective distance, the array of cameras providing a spatially continuous view of the entire wide-area scene at a substantially constant spatial resolution throughout the entire scene.

  • a driving video recorder for an automotive which includes: a housing having a side wall, a top wall with an air outlet, and a bottom wall with an air inlet; a first electric fan arranged on the bottom wall above the air inlet and in a vertical middle plane of the housing for directing outside air into the housing; two sets of lenses for image capturing arranged at the side wall and positioned symmetrically on both sides of the vertical middle plane of the housing; and heat generating electrical components provided within the housing.
  • the driving video recorder has an active-cooling system, that is, the first electric fan is arranged on the bottom wall above the air inlet and in a vertical middle plane of the housing for directing outside air into the housing, compared with a conventional natural convection cooling system, heat generated from the heat generating components is easily forced out from the housing of the driving video recorder.
  • the system temperature is therefore effectively reduced to a lower temperature and the system performance becomes better, thereby improving the stability and reliability.
  • the driving video recorder for an automotive has two sets of lenses for image capturing oppositely arranged at the side wall and positioned symmetrically on both sides of the vertical middle plane of the housing; wherein the two sets of lenses have an optical axis perpendicular to the vertical middle plane; compared with an existing driving video recorder having only one lens or only one set of lenses for image capturing arranged at one side thereof, the driving video recorder according to the present disclosure is not easy to tilt and provides a wider field of view.
  • the heat generating electrical components are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the vertical middle plane thereby providing an optimized spatial relationship of the heat generating components to the cooling chimney.
  • a second electric fan is arranged at the top wall below the air outlet for forcing hot air from the heat generating electrical components out of the housing.
  • This second electric fan together with the first electric fan collaboratively forms a chimney effect, which further improves the system cooling effectiveness.
  • the second electric fan is aligned with the first electric fan along the vertical middle plane of the housing.
  • the housing is a sphere-shaped housing.
  • the two lenses are panoramic fisheye lenses thereby providing an even all around 360° panoramic view.
  • the heat generating electrical components are sensors, one or more digital signal processors, and memory components.
  • At least one of the heat generating electrical components is provided with a heat sink thereby allowing an enhanced cooling of critical components, i.e., components generating strong heat or being particularly sensitive to overheating.
  • the heat sink is provided with fins for radiating heat.
  • the fins extend in a direction perpendicular to the vertical middle plane providing an optimized heat transfer from the heat generating components via the heat sink to the cooling chimney.
  • the housing with the side wall, the top wall and the bottom wall is integrally injection molded.
  • the side wall, the top wall and the bottom wall of the housing are formed separately and then assembled into the housing.
  • the driving video recorder further comprises a WiFi module.
